DomoSapien:

KRZYBooP:   Keep in mind that the green reticle doesn't account for angles. This means that you can bounce or ricochet with a green indicator on your tank.   Many players ask for replays since the ballistics for this game are so intricate and go through many checks before damage is applied.    If you haven't had the chance check out my KBS tanking videos HERE.   Also check out Tanks.gg as a resource for live armor vs gun pen values. 

DomoSapien: Hi there!

Echoing what some folks have already mentioned, some screenshots demonstrating the issue with your crew would be quite helpful as we're not entirely sure what you're referring to. There are penalties involved with moving crew between different tanks unless those crews are "re-trained" to those tanks.



Not to scare you away with a huge wall of text or anything, but the Crew system is quite complex and I encourage you to check out our Wiki to familiarize yourself in detail with how it works.

DomoSapien: Tankers,   The Lansen C hits Supertest today!


The Lansen C is a Swedish Medium Tank. And get this: it goes really fast. The power-to-weight ratio is outstanding: 28.4 hp/ton with a top speed of 50km. While the top speed isn't anything to necessarily write home about on its own, the substantial power-to-weight ratio allows it to hit that top speed quickly and maintain it on soft ground. Additionally boasting solid firepower on a 10.5cm cannon with 320 average Alpha. While 320 Alpha is above average for a Tier VIII medium, its accuracy and aiming parameters prevent it from being a reliable sniper.   Coupled with the relatively low armor values, this will likely place the Lansen C into a Flex Support category, similar to mid-tiered US Mediums. On paper, I would liken the vehicle to a Tier VIII T20 with better mobility. You need to rely on your mobility and the excellent Gun Depression angle of -10 Degrees.

The vehicle will excel at claiming key map positions early, engaging in some active scouting, then flexing to another flank for support. The Lansen is a 'social' vehicle - it fares better in a pack than it does in one-on-one engagements, so laying down solid, punchy, mid-range supporting fire is the name of the game. As always, stats are subject to change based on testing. Screenshots     And remember:
 

KRZYBooP: I understand that many players are concerned about their progress and thank everyone for their patience.   I have not forgotten about this thread, and waiting for additional information before sharing.  

MA77:   Infelizmente não, Thander.    Apenas na categoria "Montagem" você poderá intervir com programas na imagem de fundo.

KRZYBooP:   Make sure you submit it to from_the_forge@wargaming.net

Felipe6666Original: ¡Buenas!   En verdad, no es una cuestión de permisos el tema de subir imágenes, sino es el sistema el que es quisquilloso (por eso siempre recomiendo usar un gestor externo, como hizo IIPravdaII hace en un comentario anterior).   Sobre las entradas, tank_23_warrior, debes personalizar un poco tu vehículo (un camuflaje, un emblema, lo que sea) para que la participación sea válida. Y en tu caso, Toni_1997, no puedes crear el cambiente para tu tanque 3D con un editor, tiene que ser un ambiente real.   ¡Saludos!

Felipe6666Original: Sí, los horarios son correctos.   Por otra parte, agrego otros dos torneos para este fin de semana (los creamos hace relativamente poco):   3 vs. 3: Pelotones de domingo - División Maestría: https://worldoftanks.com/es-ar/tournaments/1000000847/ - Nivel X 3 vs. 3: Pelotones de domingo - División Desafío: https://worldoftanks.com/es-ar/tournaments/1000000846/ - Nivel VII   ¡Saludos!

Felipe6666Original:   Solo los de LATAM, los de NA tienen el suyo (y los de BR también).   ¡Saludos!

Felipe6666Original:   No, no están permitidas las imágenes con movimiento.   ¡Saludos!

Felipe6666Original: ¡Buenas!   Bien, vamos por partes. Primero que nada, los cambios en la cantidad de equipos por grupo responde a una optimización para evitar errores. Sin bien en los últimos errores no hubo ninguno (o al menos ninguno grosero), nos indicaron que a mayor cantidad de grupos que debe manejar el sistema más propenso es a fallar (desconozco las razones técnicas de esto). Es por lo mismo que incrementamos los tiempos de espera entre batallas a 5 minutos, para dar tiempo suficiente al servidor enviar y recibir las respuestas (es lo que ocasionó que en el 1 vs. 1 algunos jugadores no pudieran seguir progresando en el torneo).   Segundo, sobre todo para los que participan en los torneos desde hace tiempo (no me refiero a este año, sino a los que los jugaban antes de que se suspendieran el año pasado), los horarios siempre se cambiaron temporalmente para que coincida con el horario de invierno de Estados Unidos. Una vez que vuelva todo a la normalidad, se volverán a ajustar los horarios.   Tercero, no debería estar pasando esto con las misiones. La idea es que sean tanto repetibles como acumulativas. Es decir, que si cumplen alguna de las misiones, ya sea en el día (aunque solo algunas son realizables con un solo torneo) o a lo largo de varios días, puedan repetirla y continuar recibiendo premios y con esto cambiar lo que pasaba con las misiones anteriores que, además de la baja tasa de compleción, les permitía completar cada una solo una vez. Y como la misión principal requiere que se complete cada misión una sola vez, pueden sacar más premios. Ya pasé los ID de quienes se comunicaron conmigo por privado reportando que se les reinició el progreso una vez terminado el día (insisto, no debería haber pasado), así que nuestros desarrolladores están investigando qué pasó exactamente para corregirlo.   Cuarto, sí, ya se pagaron los premios de este domingo que pasó (también se enviaron los bonos por el torneo del domingo anterior, que estaban atrasados). Si no te llegó algo, podés bien contactar a Soporte o mandarme un MP con los detalles.   Quinto, aquí van los torneos para esta semana:   1 vs. 1: Historia de una ida y una vuelta (de un tanque): https://worldoftanks.com/es-ar/tournaments/1000000840/ - Nivel III 6 vs. 6: ¡Pelea de jueves en Murovanka!: https://worldoftanks.com/es-ar/tournaments/1000000842/ - Nivel IX Del 07/12 al 09/12 - ¡A través de los tiempos!: https://worldoftanks.com/es-ar/tournaments/1000000843/ - Nivel VIII, IX y X 2 vs. 2: ¡Reaprovisionamiento de viernes!: https://worldoftanks.com/es-ar/tournaments/1000000844/ - Nivel VI 1 vs. 1: Duelos de sábado: https://worldoftanks.com/es-ar/tournaments/1000000845/ - Nivel IV   ¡Saludos!   P.D.: Presten mucha atención a las reglas del torneo 1 vs. 1 y el del multinivel (uno por la rotación de mapas, y el otro por los cambios día a día).

DomoSapien: Tankers, 
Hitting Supertest today is what will hopefully be the final stage of testing for the Lost City map. It should look familiar, as several versions have been posted to the WCFR subforum in the past, and it bears a striking resemblance to Ghost Town in general (of course, Lost City is substantially larger than Ghost Town, but more on that later.)  We feel that the playstyle for this map has been more or less defined, so we can move on to checking the team and location balance, then make changes as necessary. After that, some finishing touches from artists and the map will be ready to go live. How has Lost City Changed?The location has evolved pretty substantially but the general setting and theme remains, with some emphasis on symmetry carrying over as a design choice from Team Battles. The redesign is intended to increase viability for different classes. With this in mind the size was increased from 0.8km x 0.8km to 1km x 1km Additionally the dividing line of gameplay was changed from a diagonal one to a horizontal one This change was made to help structure the map, and define more directions for it to play in different vehicle classes. Diagonal symmetry resulted in less variation for overall tactics. Previous iterations tended to funnel gameplay into city blocks, which favored well-armored vehicles and mobile vehicles that could take critical positions early. This new version has added options in the form of dedicated directions for various classes.  1.  This area of the map is for some "LT and MT yee-haw cowboy action." - What this silly phrase means is that the key to success in this area of the map relies on mobility; Galloping ahead and controlling the direction of the battle. From this area you can either wrap around into the enemy spawn or flank enemy heavies in the city, forcing them to split their forces and their focus off of your Heavy push. 2. The City Blocks occupy the middle of the map. Matters are settled face-to-face in this area, so naturally if you're in a well-armored HT, MT, or TD you'll feel right at home here. Most cross-fire locations are blocked so you don't have to worry about taking fire from external flanks for the most part. However some crossfires are open so it's important to maintain situational awareness and a level head.   3. In the East, gameplay is a bit more thoughtful. That is, you'll want to take care advancing up this line as there are TD positions on either side with heavy foliage. Ever hear the expression: The best defense is a good offense? Well it couldn't be further from the truth in this case. Stealthy TD's like the Swedes and the Germans will thrive on supporting these locations.
   4. At the North and South end of the Map,  TD positions with heavy Foliage offer support for allies and containment for over-extending enemies on the East and West flanks. These locations offer both Hard Cover and Foliage cover. 
While the map is in its final testing phases for ST we are still making considerations for player feedback; if we receive drastic feedback around any particular features, this feedback may be implemented in the live version. With this in mind please feel free to leave your feedback below. <

Felipe6666Original: Perdón, ahí deberían verse.   ¡Saludos!

KRZYBooP:   I am not angry at you

DomoSapien: Hi there! Thanks for the candid and honest feedback.
  I do understand that the practice of canned responses is a frustrating one, however having worked in Customer Support (Billing Support in particular) for WG for a number of years I can tell you that, when you have to tell thousands of people that your billing entity coincides with your corporate headquarters in Cyprus, it does help to have that bit pre-written. I'm not a fan of canned responses and I did my best to hand-write everything that I could, but in Customer Support Center culture in general (this goes for most organizations), your representatives have a quota for volume of cases handled daily.   Not defending the practice as a whole but...it is what it is. That said, the suggested alternatives are just that: suggestions.You may not appreciate someone telling you what alternative methods we have available because it seems like a sidestep instead of a fix, but the representative is offering you what is at their disposal to try and provide you with a resolution to your billing inquiry. I get that as a whole it sounds, well, a little canned, and this is not meant as a slight to you but rather done in the interest of efficiency.   As for 'attaching' your bank card, you don't have to save your credit card information with us. Actually, if I'm going into detail: our current Billing Partner for most Visa, Mastercard etc. payments is Adyen. They are a reputable and well-established payment aggregator, much like Paypal. If you don't want your card information going through Adyen, you can use Paypal. (I've used Paypal for over 10 years with zero issues, they are arguably the most reputable payment aggregator out there.) If you don't want to use Paypal, you can purchase a prepaid card like Karma Koin, etc. 
  We are also working on getting our Amazon Pay support restored however these efforts are ongoing and we don't currently have a timeframe for that particular fix.   Sure, these seem like roundabout methods to address what could be solved by a US-based billing entity, however I can't claim to know the specifics of the contract and tax law that would go into setting all that up, so I can't really comment in that regard. That would be like a professional Plumber giving his opinion on Thermonuclear Dynamics.

I can, however, tell you that we do our best to have a variety of different methods available in case your preferred method is unavailable. I can also tell you that I'm quite happy to pass your feedback in this regard on to our Payments Teams, and I will be doing just that.

MA77:   Utilize a ferramente de Checar e Reparar do seu WGC. Caso o problema continue, você tem a opção de desinstalar e reinstalar o jogo novamente - não esquecendo de atualizar seu driver de vídeo - ou mesmo entrar em contato com o Suporte pra que eles possam lhe ajudar.

MA77: Saudações, Hoje o mapa Cidade Fantasma começa mais uma rodada de testes. Definimos o cenário de jogo para o local e agora pretendemos verificar o equilíbrio das equipes, as direções de jogo, e se necessário, fazer alterações. Depois disso, apenas alguns toques finais dos artistas, e o mapa será bom para ir aos servidores principais.  Como o mapa mudou? • O local evoluiu muito, mas manteve sua configuração, a parte central e alguns resíduos da simetria das Batalhas de Times.
• Tornou-se maior (1000x1000), oferecendo aos veículos de todas as classes um lugar e uma oportunidade de brilhar.
• Na versão antiga do mapa, a ação (em sua maior parte) ocorria nos quarteirões da cidade, favorecendo veículos bem blindados e móveis. No novo, adicionamos locais dedicados para diferentes classes.
• Os quarteirões da cidade ocupam o meio do mapa. É um lugar onde as coisas são resolvidas cara-a-cara: por pesados, médios adequados para a primeira linha e TDs de assalto. Os prédios vão bloquear a maioria dos disparos, mas não todos, então mantenha a cabeça fria quando estiver na linha de frente.
• O oeste do mapa é o lugar para médios e tanques leves. A partir daqui, você pode correr para a base inimiga ou imobilizar seus oponentes nos quarteirões da cidade, fazendo com que eles estiquem suas forças (e atenção).
• No leste, a batalha se desenvolve de forma mais sutil e cuidadosa. A região é aberta como a pradaria oeste, mas é tenda a ter um jogo mais defensivo e não ofensivo, com muitos arbustos e belas paisagens.
• Nas bordas do norte e do sul do mapa é onde ficam localizadas as posições de TDs, permitindo o apoio de aliados ou a contenção dos inimigos mais zelosos. Aqui você pode encontrar tanto a cobertura baseada em moitas quanto em terreno.  Mais Fotos s Fiquem ligados nas notícias e boa sorte no campo de batalha!

KRZYBooP:   Thank you for posting a reply to my topic. I was hoping to learn other possible tactics while piloting the Tank. I am not a patient person so playing a TD for me means hang out in the back then jump from bush to bush until i over extend and die trying to light someone up.    Am I doing it right?

Felipe6666Original: ¡Saludos, tanquistas!   En el día de hoy, comienzan las pruebas finales para la versión actualizada del mapa Ciudad Perdida. ¡Sí, su lanzamiento está cerca! Ya definimos el estilo de juego para este escenario, y ahora queremos corroborar que las direcciones de ataque y las posiciones de los equipos están balanceadas (y hacer cambios si es necesario). Luego de eso, quedan unos retoques finales de parte de nuestros artistas y el mapa estará listo para ver la luz en todos los servidores.
  ¿Cómo cambió Ciudad Perdida en todo este tiempo?   Imágenes
  Si bien el escenario cambió mucho, retuvimos la ambientación, con las caracteríticas principales de la zona central y la misma simetría que solía tener para las Batallas de Equipo. Ciudad Perdida es ahora más grande (1000x1000 metros), lo que hace que todos los tipos de vehículos puedan cumplir su rol en la batalla. En la antigua versión del mapa, casi toda la acción tenía lugar en la zona urbana, lo que favorecía a los vehículos muy blindados y con buena movilidad. En la nueva versión, agregamos distintas direcciones de ataque pensadas para cada tipo de vehículo. La zona urbana se ubica en el centro del mapa. Es un lugar para el combate frente a frente para pesados, medianos de primera línea y cazatanques muy blindados. Los edificios bloquean las direcciones de tiro, pero no todas, así que preseten atención durante la pelea. La zona oeste del mapa está pensada para los ligeros y medianos rápidos. No se queden quietos porque la victoria depende de controlar la zona. Desde allí, pueden poner presión sobre la captura enemiga o disparar a los enemigos en la zona urbana, lo que los obligará a dividir sus fuerzas (y su atención). La zona este, en cambio, está pensada para la defensa. Si bien es una zona abierta como la oeste, está plagada de arbustos y excelentes posiciones de disparo a distancia. En las zonas norte y sur se ubican las posiciones para cazatanques, lo que permite apoyar a los aliados o contener a los enemigos más audaces. Aquí encontrarán tanto arbustos como cobertura en el terreno.
  Esperamos sus comentarios sobre la nueva versión de Ciudad Perdida, dado que no queda mucho tiempo para su lanzamiento y puede que hagamos algunos ajustes finales.
  ¡Sigan las noticias y que la suerte esté de su lado en el campo de batalla!

MA77: Você utiliza algum mod, Black?

MA77: Tópico fechado.   Será reaberto caso os usuários foquem no assunto proposto pelo autor. 

Jambijon: Thanks for the info on the tournament missions everyone!  I've sent off the bug to the devs and I'll update you as soon as I'm able!

BigDaddyLaxative:  

BigDaddyLaxative:   Awesome!  Thanks!

Hambijon:  

Hambijon:   Awesome!  Thanks!

BigDaddyLaxative:   Damn, okay I'll have to look into this tomorrow morning.  If you happen to have any screenshots, that would be super helpful.  I'll update everyone on my findings.

BigDaddyLaxative:   Yeah, sorry for the delay.  The tournament is up now.  

BigDaddyLaxative:   That's correct Blazo!  The tier IX 6v6 awards 8k split among the team, along with 1200 bonds and 15 50% credit (1hr) booster per player.  For the 3 day tournament, if you check the rules out you'll see that each stage is a different tier/map progressing through a "very loose" timeline of WWII engagements.  So stage 1 is tier VIII and yes the top prize in that group is 6k gold for the team and 1500 bonds per player. That also qualifies you to go to the next day (Tier IX) where 1st awards 7k gold (team), 1500 bonds and 20 50% credit (1hr) boosters.  After that, you get to play in the final round where the top prize is 35k gold (Team).  So if you managed to place first on every day, it would net you around (if it was an even split among 7) 6,857 Gold, 3k bonds, and 20 50% credit boosters

Felipe6666Original:   Sí, es válido (sobre todo ahora que están anunciados para ingresar al juego próximamente).   ¡Saludos!

DomoSapien:   To answer your question, submissions are voted on internally by members of WGA Staff.

DomoSapien: Erm, no the Amazon pay issue is still ongoing. I beieve Paymentwall processes Credit Card transactions from certain countries as well.   Unfortunately the issue with Amazon pay is quite complex and involves a bunch of contract stuff that I'm not knowledgeable to comment on.

We understand Amazon pay is the only method available for certain folks but at this point it's out of our hands. We just have to wait for a resolution. With this in mind I encourage you to seek an alternate payment method if you know you'll want to buy something off the Advent Calendar.     

CabbageMechanic:
Just a little CB500F, I'm going to sell it and go bigger soon, looking at the CB 1100.  I'm definitely familiar with CotA, I've probably done a thousand laps or so of the place in iRacing.  I haven't actually been to real life version yet due to bad scheduling but I intend to go to both Moto GP and Formula 1 in 2019

The bit at the end means that the Object 260 and the T-55A are getting some small buffs.
 

CabbageMechanic:   Oh boy does it

CabbageMechanic: Hey Tankers,
Can you believe 2018 is almost over?  Time sure goes quicker as you get older.  I've been enjoying the perfect weather here in Texas (finally), and getting some good motorcycle rides in on the weekend.   We've been busy making plans for 2019, and there's a lot to get excited about (tanks stuff too, not just Hootie and the Blowfish getting back together).  No updates yet on most of the exciting things we talked about last month (Frontlines, MM changes etc), but steady progress is being made and we'll see both in 2019.  In the meantime, we have some other cool stuff going on:
Well-Deserved Reward + Advent Calendar I'm assuming most of you have seen our loving Wes Anderson tribute and received your holiday rewards by now.  I hope those of you who received them are enjoying your T-50-2's!  I'm thrilled to finally have acquired a badge (Beta) so now I don't feel left out on the score screen.
Advent Calendar is up and running, with the cool new twist that you can buy the daily deal with Gold.  Exciting deals all month!  Some of you will also have noticed that we once again have the following year (2019) attached, please don't @ me about it - it's intentional and related to the Orthodox celebration of Christmas in January.
The New Years event will be kicking off in a few weeks, if you liked the last few years you'll like this one too! 
From the Forge
Thank you to everyone who sent in your awesome projects to be considered for our From the Forge contest!  So much cool stuff from so many talented people across several disciplines - including a Minecraft Mod!  If you make anything tank related consider entering December's contest by e-mailing your entry (anything tank related that you create) to From_The_Forge@wargaming.net for a chance to win premium tanks and other prizes.
Sheriff Event
More details to come, but the weekend of December 14th-16th we're going to round up the posse and head out into the queue to give away some gold to players who kill Sheriff accounts.  We may consider deputizing some of you if enough fine upstanding members of the community show interest. 
Winter Challenge
Still a week left to work on earning that SU-130PM!  It'll be on sale until the 13th, best of luck with your grinds.
Patch 1.3
Coming later this month - mostly a maintenance patch with changes to the Excalibur campaign to make it easier, several maps, some PM 1.0 reward vehicles, and a nice update to the customization system that will give you a lot more freedom with large-scale decals. 
Hope you and yours have a wonderful holiday season,
CM

Felipe6666Original:   Puedes usar Paint o el programa que quieras para crear tu escenario, pero no puedes utilizarlo para pintar al vehículo en sí. Y no, solo se permite una participación por persona.   ¡Saludos!

KRZYBooP: Greetings Boom Jockies! Since the release of the SU-130PM I have noted as well as others that it's a Russian cousin of the Skorpion G. Now since I am a tomato and looking to do better I thought I would share some helpful videos on how to play. I am also curious to know if anyone has any unorthodox play styles when it comes to this tank?  Reviews and other information that I have checked out.  From QuickyBaby From Claus Kellerman -Rated R for Language-  Now what I have noticed is that the SU-130PM prefers the hang out in the back and stay in cover tactic; compared to the Skorpion G which is quicker, utilizing the stick and move tactic better than the SU-130PM.    

Felipe6666Original: Thread movido. No es un problema técnico, sino más bien una discusión sobre el juego.   ¡Saludos!

Felipe6666Original: No tenemos planeado "compensar" a los jugadores por ingresar al servidor SA, para eso está el incentivo que mencionas (al márgen de que si quisiéramos hacerlo, el sistema de misiones que utilizamos no nos permite crear condiciones y/o separar jugadores de esa manera). Si los compensáramos, entonces generamos el efecto opuesto al deseado, que es que entren simplemente por los posibles beneficios que pueden obtener en el servidor (principalmente, temas de conectividad). El caso del incentivo es diferente porque compensa los tiempos de espera promedio en los momentos de mayor actividad del servidor (por las mañanas la actividad suele ser baja o nula).   La conectividad varía de acuerdo a la región, pero ese no es el problema, sino la actividad en el servidor en sí. Es por que eso que implementamos los bots para mitigar ese problema, aunque debemos hacerles ajustes dado que no estamos satisfechos con los resultados. Hay muchas cosas que hacer todavía para optimizar al servidor SA, pero, por desgracia, son todas cosas que llevan tiempo.   ¡Saludos!

Felipe6666Original:   Sí, esas cosas sí. Con lo de "No pueden editar el vehículo con programas digitales" me refiero a que no pueden diseñarle un camuflaje o estilo personalizado con dichos programas, sino que deben hacerlo con el sistema del juego, pero pueden hacer otros añadidos (como el gorro).   ¡Saludos!
